What to wear – Shades of Blue – San Jose Photographer Photos by Kim E
Why Shades of Blue Are Perfect for Your Family Photos
Sometimes it can be hard to think about what you want to have everyone wear for your family photos. What can help is starting out with one color and then work from there. One shade that always stands out beautifully and that photographs beautifully is blue. These shades of blue for family portraits allows everyone to stand out.
Blue as an Ultimate Neutral
Blue is amazing, it tends to blend in with any setting but also allows it to pop against the backgrounds. Blues are soft enough to feel neutral but rich enough to create a subtle pop. And with the variety of shades available, every family member can pick a tone that complements them!
A Relaxed Vibe
As a color, the shades of blue evoke calm, trust, and connection, a natural vibe we love in family portraits. Darker navies look polished and timeless while lighter shades like sky blue or denim give a laid-back feel that’s ideal for those candid, in-the-moment shots. So, if you’re dreaming of photos that feel calm and connected, blue could be your color.
Mixing and Matching
One of the best things about choosing shades of blue is how easy it is to mix and match. For instance, Mom could rock a navy dress, Dad could go for a chambray shirt, while the kids sport cute jeans and baby blue tees. The variation in shades adds texture and depth without clashing, and that visual harmony will make your photos look amazing! Trust me, as your San Jose family photographer, I’m all about finding ways to make everyone look coordinated without feeling overly “matchy-matchy.”
Ideal for Every Season
Another reason blue is perfect? It works beautifully in every season. Spring and summer? Light blues are refreshing and bright. Fall and winter? Navy and cobalt stand out against autumn leaves and cooler backdrops.
